As Increasing spend by cash-rich Chinese millennials, largely unhindered by a crackdown on corruption and extravagant spending, is prompting brands to revamp some stores and open new ones in second- and third-tier cities where luxury spending is growing faster.
The youngsters, who account for around 30 percent of the sector’s China sales, are a demographic less sensitive to wider economic factors, executives said.
“There is the emergence in China of a very strong upper class or upper middle class,” Jean-Paul Agon, Chairman and CEO of cosmetics group L’Oreal (OREP.PA) said on a call with analysts.
